A current rabies vaccination is required by Illinois law. You must bring the rabies certificate with the tag number. Vaccination on the day of surgery is permitted.

Brachycephalic dogs require a pre-surgical exam, bloodwork, and take-home medication, and a $200 spay/neuter fee applies. Exotic cats require a pre-surgical exam, bloodwork, and proBNP test.

Spaying and neutering your pet is incredibly beneficial, for their long term health, for improved quality of life, behavioral benefits, and the community impact of reducing pet overpopulation in the community.

Spay/Neuter Info:

Rabies vaccination is required on the day of surgery; county tag available at an additional cost.
Additional charges may apply for females in heat, with pyometra, or pregnant, or males with undescended (cryptorchid) testicles.
All pets go home the same day as surgery, so a return visit is not necessary.
We offer vaccinations and other wellness services on the same day as your pet’s surgery.
We recommend you consider the addition of an IV Catheter with Fluids and an E-Collar for your pet with surgery. These options are available when you check in for surgery.

Do you have an exotic cat or brachycephalic dog?

Before any procedure, we require exotic cats and brachycephalic dogs to come in for a pre-surgical exam. This visit allows our veterinarians to assess your pet’s overall health, review any breed-specific risks, and discuss anesthesia and surgical planning to make sure your pet is ready for a safe procedure.

All brachycephalic dogs, including French Bulldogs, Pugs, Bulldogs, etc., will incur a $200 complex surgical fee, in addition to the cost of surgery.

These additional fees reflect the extra care and precautions required for certain breeds. These pets often have unique airway challenges and may have differences in anatomy or physiology that make anesthesia and surgery more complex. Charging a complex surgical fee ensures that our team can provide the safest, most thorough care for these pets.

Please note:

Prices are subject to change
We only accept cash, debit, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover as payment. (We do not accept American Express and checks)
There is a $3 medical waste fee
A 2.5% processing fee will be added to all credit card payments. This helps us maintain affordable services while covering transaction costs
